I think the situation is only possible if the giant stands on a tile with road, so he is able to move 2 tiles, but the pathfinder algorithm decides that he can jump on a ship, and disembark in the same turn and cause splash damage?

If the same giant stands in front of a port like so

L-W-L (Land water land) G-P-L1 (giant, port, land) L-W-L, He would not be able to cross the river in one turn to tile L1 right?

A giant, or any other unit, should not be able to embark and disembark on the same turn.

If they can, that's a bug

I think I found a bug that when a giant moves from land to land, but one of his step involved a port, he will still cause splash damage. The pathfinder algorithm should not consider moving through a port as a possibility.

Not technically a bug.

Damn now I'm curious how you got to be where you are, must be a hell of a tale XD

I'll keep it short.

I was a fan that accidentally got the job after taking over the Discord that eventually became their official one.

It has been a crazy trip, that's for sure.

Though that's so cool, I've always wanted to visit and see that beautiful state (I've only been to Florida before). Greetings from the UK! :)

Out of the core Midjiwan staff, I'm the only one that isnt Swedish. :P

Just out of random curiosity btw, as a community manager do you acc work at midjiwan¿ And if so, like, are you guys all based in sweden? Pratar ni svenska i kontoret? :D

I do work for Midjiwan and have for years now.

But while they're based in Stockholm, I live in California.

Ooh, mind if i ask what was wrong with them?

Just adjustments to make them more interesting and hopefully address some concerns with things like spawns.

Holy hell a community manager! Thank you very much for your answer, i see now.

One quick note, i tried three starring in creative mode but the stars don't ever.. stay? Idk it's weird..

Well, yeah, it's Creative mode.

Like, we can't have you stacking the deck in your favor and then getting insane scores, y'know.

But you can still play with the rulesets in case you're getting tired of Continents.

That being said, we did release a patch today to help fix Continents.

Comment

It has always been Continents.

You are able to play Domination in Creative mode, which let's you adjust the map type.

We agree

I also can’t stand that lumber huts now = 3. What was the point of that??!

To nerf them. We didn't like how they were the point if balance for so many tribes, especially Bardur, and wanted to even them out with the other pop growth methods

That's just asking for update finnickiness.

We have to update the backend in order to do this sort of thing, and we don't do that often, as it can quickly turn into a hassle.

No I get that, I’m an amateur game dev myself

I’m just asking for their plan, not demanding anything

We know about people wanting a buff.

Lux could be better, but they're not bad, and are pretty good all-around, honestly.

TBH, I only play Luxidoor for their very cool lookin skin.

Anyways, I think Luxidoor's balance can be easily solved we just give them extra 2 initial stars at the start of the game. That way, it can still remain it's versatility while still be true to Luxidoor's supposedly wealthy nature.

So instead starting with 5 Stars, they start with 7, Which is a pretty telling of how rich they are.

Pls consider devs.

We know.

The tragic play is a central part of the Vengir festival. Here we see a moment from the dramatic finale of Xrotthust’s 10-hour epic, “Discth Burzxas”, in which the protagonist finally meets an untimely end which brought audiences all around the Square to tears. Of course, as is customary in the Vengirian tragic play, the committed actor really gives their life for the ultimate performance, adding an uncomfortably real element to the production.

Sounds like Vengir
